British drivers are being warned about new changes to rates launching in the coming days which could impact their finances.
Earlier today, HM Revenue and Customs released the new advisory fuel rates which are set to be rolled out on Sunday, December 1.
The rates are reviewed four times per year and are used when reimbursing employees for business travel in their company cars or when employees need to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.
The advisory fuel rates for petrol and diesel company cars have all fallen compared to the current rates, which were announced at the start of September.
